OINOINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is good. The supply of 

 stock is fair and it cleans up readily. 

 A substantial part of the demand for 

 stock last week was occasioned by 

 fall openings. 



Boses are in better supply than they 

 were, but more good ones could be used 

 were they available. Carnations, while 

 in fair supply, are running short of 

 actual needs. Easter lilies are fairly 

 plentiful, and they sell well. Excellent 

 valley may be had. A few gladioli and 

 asters still are coming into the market; 

 both sell readily. Other items are or- 

 chids, sweet peas, snapdragons and 

 dahlias. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Cincinnati 

 Florists' Society will be held Monday, 

 October 9. 



The E. G. Hill Floral Co. had the 

 fall opening decorations of the Pogue 

 stores. 



John C. Eutenschroer has been send- 

 ing some excellent dahlias to C. E, 

 Critchell. 



Edward Cavanaugh, of C. E. 

 Critchell 's force, now is on his vaca- 

 tion. 



Among recent visitors were William 

 Gardiner, of Newcastle, Ind.; H. E. 

 Brandt, of Wertheimer Bros., New York; 

 H. C. Calish, of A. Leipzig, Inc., New 

 York. C. H. H. 



USINGER'S UTTEEANOES. 



The Heiss Co. is taking an active in- 

 terest in the fall openings held in 

 Dayton. Many large orders for palms 

 and decorative stock were received and 

 the whole force is kept on the job. 



Fred H. Lemon & Co., of Eichmond, 

 Ind., had a delightful window display 

 of plants and ferns in a watermill 

 scene. 



William Gerlach, Jr., of Piqua, O., 

 is making plans for additional houses. 

 The increased business warrants addi- 

 tional space. 



J. M. Peterson & Sons, of Covington, 

 O., are finishing a new boiler house. 

 This completes the work started this 

 summer. 



Eggert N. Zetlitz, of Lima, O., always 

 has attractive window displays. A new 

 fountain recently was installed in one 

 of the windows and attracted a great 

 deal of attention. 



C. P. Bethards, of Springfield, O., has 

 decided to give up his retail store and 

 conduct all business at the greenhouse. 

 Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield, re- 

 ports a favorable summer season, de- 

 spite the scarcity of stock, which was 

 keenly felt. 



The Don Floral Co., of Mansfield, has 

 a heavy run of funeral work. With 

 that and the greenhouse work, there is 

 plenty for everybody to do. 



There is another new and attractive 

 flower store in Mansfield. Stuhldreher 

 Bros., large wholesale growers, have 

 opened a retail store. Mr. Gardiner, of 

 Superior, Wis., will be the manager and 

 he intends to give his patrons many 

 new and novel schemes in flower ar- 

 rangement. The store is located on 

 West Fourth street. The woodwork is 

 walnut, with plate mirrors on both 

 sides. A window is so constructed that 

 any color scheme may be used when de- 

 sired. Attractive hangings are used, 



while there is a reproduction of some 

 French tapestry on one of the walls. 

 It is the intention to have a taodern 

 and handsome store, which ijtself will 

 be an inducement to enter. The floral 

 fraternity welcomes this new store, 

 wishing it the utmost success. 



William E. Pennick, of Wooster, O., 

 reports favorable business conditions, 

 with an attractive outlook for the 

 winter. 



Kester Bros., of Massillon, O., are 

 about finishing repairs on their houses. 

 Space is needed for the constant arrival 

 of plants. 



H. F. Heitger, of Massillon, recently 

 redecorated his store. Some changes 

 were made which greatly enhance its 

 beauty. " W. T. U. 



WESTEELY, E. I. 



Louis J. Eeuter was a business vis- 

 itor to New York and Philadelphia last 

 week. 



There still is no clue as to the where- 

 abouts of Lewis P. Eankin, who disap- 

 peared while on a business trip to New 

 York three weeks ago. In the mean- 

 while his affairs are becoming finan- 

 cially entangled. One attachment has 

 been levied against -the property by 

 Pasquale Deplacito and wife, the for- 

 mer having been employed as fireman 

 by Mr. Eankin and the latter having 

 loaned $300 to the missing man. The 

 refrigerator has been claimed by a 

 Mystic man and the decorative trees in 

 front of the store by another creditor. 

 The liabilities are said to be largely in 

 excess of all assets. 



Thomas Murray, an employee of 

 Conrad Schultz, was seriously injured 

 when kicked by a horse September 25.

SEDALIA, MO. 



The sixteenth annual Missouri state 

 fair, held last week, was one of the 

 most successful in the existence of this 

 institution. The Horticulture building, 

 in which the floral exhibits were shown, 

 was beautifully decorated by the 

 Archias Floral Co., which also was 

 awarded the contract for decorating 

 and stocking the new aquarium and 

 fountain. 



There were many amateur displays in 

 floriculture, but only two florists 

 showed, the Archias Floral Co, and 

 State Fair Floral Co., the premiums be- 

 ing divided between them. Other fea- 

 tures of this department were a minia- 

 ture Japanese garden shown by the 

 Archias Floral Co. and a bridal outfit 

 by the State Fair Floral Co., which 

 made this the most attractive building 

 on the grounds. 



Other florists of the state have shown 

 little interest in the Missouri state fair 

 and are missing an excellent oppor- 

 tunity to advertise and boost the busi- 

 ness, as many thousands of visitors from 

 all over the state visit the fair each 

 year. 



Cambridge, O. — Says Fred W. Arnold, 

 in speaking of conditions at Cambridge: 

 "Chrysanthemums, roses and carnations 

 are doing finely; sweet peas look well 

 and violet stock is the best we ever 

 had. We are optimistic and will try to 

 balance the increased cost of paper, 

 boxes, chiffons and other supplies by 

 increased production of higher grade 

 stock."
